Running a Train BY Crude Oil.

PITTsBURG, June l8.-The first
train that ever ran, or attempted to
run, west of the Allegheny noun
tains with crude petroleum as the
orly fuel in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and fre-box, was the mail West
of the Pennsylvania Railroad that
arrived in this city last night. 1t
came through from Altoona on time
and it came without stick of tim
Der or scuttle of coal to make
steam for its motor. The train was
drawn by locomotive No. 403, with
engineer Burbank at the throttle.
There was entire uniformity of heat
in the fire-box without any stopping
to make it. The pipes from 200
gallons of crude oil in tank in the
tender did the business. The ex-
pertinent was a complete success.
Splendid time was made, and there
was no annoyance from smoke and
cinders.

ASTONISHING SUCCESS.

1t is the duty of ever person who has
used Boschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all thread and lung diseases. No
person can use it without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of all Drug
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
$4,000 dozen bottles were sold last year
and no one CAGE were it failed was report
ed. Such a medicine as the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask
your druggist about it. Sample bottles to
try, sold at 10 cents. Regular size, IS
cents. Sold by all Druggists and dealer
in the United States and Canada.

Robbed In a Sleeper.
AN EXCITING EPISODE ON A TRAIN IN
TEXAS. BOLD RAILROAD THIEVES.


HousToN, TEXAS, June 1S.-The
most daring train robbery that ever
occurred in Texas was perpetrated
at l:30 o'clock this morning q short
distance this side of Schulenburg, on
the Southern Pacific Railway. As
the train drew up at the station two
men with drawn revolvers mounted
the engine, covered the engineer with
their weapons and compelled him to
pull the train out to the open prairie q
few hundred yards to the east, where
fire was burning, around which
stood eight or ten men armed with
Winchester rifles. The two robbers
on the engine stood guard over the
man at the throttle while the others
went through the mail, express and
passenger cars. Nearly all the pass
engers were asleep and did not know
what was going on until they were
aroused by the robbers. The first
man tackled by the thieves was w.
Newburger, Of New York, whom
they struck on the head with re
volver. They secured from him SIS
in cash and several diamonds and a
gold watch valued at about 500.
Lou Mayer, of Cincinnati, was re-
lieved of $35. II. l., Armstead, of
New York gave up $40. He had a
larger amount Of money with him,
but it was hidden in the sleeping
car. A gentleman from Mexico,
whose name could not be learned,
lost $500. All Of the passengers lost
what valvables they had, and it is
difficult to form an estimate of the
am cunt of money and jewelry secur
ed. 1t is reckoned, however, at ST.
900. Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express
car was also gone through, but the
amount of money taken from it can
not be ascertained. No mail route
agent was on the train, but the
through mail pouches in the express
car were all cut open and their con-
tents appropriated. The total
amount secured by the robbers is
put down at $4,000 or $4,000, but
when a careful revision is made the
figures may be changed. There is
no doubt that considerable booty
was secured and the gang made of
with it successfully. The whole coun-
try is aroused and in arms. Several
parties have gone in search Of the
robbers.

the air ship again assembled, this
time to 5000 feet. The aeronaut
then noticed that the bag was sag
ging, and announced that landing
must be made. When within a few feet
of land the drag rope skinned along
the earth, making train for four
miles, and in its wake followed a
crowd of natives. Several times
they caught the rope and were hurl-
ed roughly to the ground.
/. AT August PALMS farm, seven
miles from Centralia, Ill.,, his sturdy
wife gave the drag-rope half.dozen
turns around an apple tree and
brought the monster up with jerk.
The wind caught the folds of the
balloon and it scared like a kite.
For an hour the farmers tugged at.
the rope, and when the aeronaut
pulled the rib cord, to his amaze
ment he found it already loose, and
this was the cause of the fearful fall,
so nearly disastrous to the occu-
pants of the air-ship. The carrier
pigeons that were released from the
balloon at 1000 feet altitude, have
appeared at their homes.
Hazen reports the voyage sue
cess. The balloon will be brought
back to the city, and arrangements
are now being made for another as
cent.

A Lawyer Killed on the Railroad.

WHEELING, w. VA, June 2l.-At

Pittsburg express on the Pan Han
die Road, and Caldwell was instant
ly killed. Both lawyers were en-

death had invaded our midst and had
removed from the sphere Of action q
bright youth 10 years of age. Jacob
Jones had been In the employ Of Mr..
Nicklasfor several years past. ONION
day evening preceding his death, Jacob
complained of being sick on Tuesday,
the following day, he personally visited
a drug store In order TO purchase medi-
cine for himself on Saturday his soul
had taken flight to join the innummer-
able throng that had preceded him. He
was buried on Sunday, in Greenhill
cemetery. The deceased was an honest,
courteous and faithful employee. No
more fitting tribute can be paid to his
memory than that uttered by his en-
ployer Jacob was a good boy" To
the sorrowing family we extend our
sympathy. A COMPANION.
